"Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among people whose water does not contain chlorine." - US Council of Environmental Quality

Chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas that is produced when electricity passes through salt water.

Chlorine in drinking water is associated with heart attacks and strokes, as well as bladder and rectal cancer. Cancer caused by chlorine kills more Americans annually than handguns. Chlorine was used as poison gas in World War I. Why are we putting it in our drinking water?

Fluoride in drinking water is associated with bone cancer (osteosarcoma).

Until recently, children's sleepware was treated with the flame retardant Tris. Tris is absorbed through the skin and is both carcinogenic and mutagenic. Natural fibers are less flammable than synthetics.

"Tamoxifen is an exercise in disease substitution rather than disease prevention." - Dr. Epstein page 486.

"Research by Dr. Weston Price demonstrated over 75 years ago that bacterial toxins from root canals can enter the bloodstream and lead to a long list of serious health problems." - Dr. David Williams.

Many insect and rodent pests can be removed from your home using the electronic device called Pest Offense (do a search of the Internet). This device may assist you to reduce the toxic chemicals sprayed in your home.

"Instead of pulling out a can of insect repellant, sprinkle cayenne pepper around the edge of the house. It works just as well and is a lot safer." - Dr. David Williams.

Many greenhouses and golf courses in Japan are using acidic water as an alternative to pesticides.

The whole world seems out to give you cancer. The topsoil has been depleted of trace minerals and poisoned with agricultural chemicals
(and perhaps even sewage sludge) so that the food you eat is nutritionally deficient and filled with hidden dangers. A recent study of breast milk in England found that breast fed infants are receiving 40 times the allowable daily limit of toxic chemicals. In light of this, is the upsurge of childhood cancers any surprise?
(Despite this it is still
better to breast
feed.)

Toxic farm chemicals are "radiomimetic" which means they are damaging in a manner similar to radiation. The use of toxic agricultural chemicals in the United States causes the same genetic damage to present and future generations as 72,000 atomic bombs such as was used on Hiroshima (Tompkins page xxiii).

Of course, this is in addition to radioactive fallout from fifty-five years of nuclear testing around the world, radioactive discharges from nuclear power stations, and accidents such as
Chernobyl and Fukushima, plus the 500,000 US soldiers deliberately exposed to nuclear blasts.
Regarding depleted uranium (DU) weapons, US radiation specialist
Leuren Moret states, "DU weaponry largely meets the definition of a
weapon of mass destruction (WMD)." In a newspaper article in 2005,
she wrote: "Since 1991, the US has released the radioactive
atomicity (through DU weapons) equivalent of at least 400,000
Nagasaki bombs into the global atmosphere. That is 10 times the
amount released during atmospheric testing which was the equivalent
of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs. The US has permanently contaminated the
global atmosphere with radioactive pollution having a half-life of
2.5 billion years."

Actually, there are those
who say that Fukushima was not an accident.

They claim that a stolen Russian nuclear weapon was re-engineered and
planted deep under the seabed by a drilling rig, where it was detonated.
Plus, the Fukushima nuclear plant was sabotaged in a variety of ways to
enhance the disaster. Furthermore, it is claimed that Fukushima (3/11) and
the World Trade Center (9/11) were orchestrated by the same global elite.
The suggestion is that there is a world-wide war going on for control of the
planet, and most people are completely unaware of what is happening.

Every microwave oven starts to leak radiation after a while, and microwaved food is carcinogenic (see the microwave page at www.mercola.com). Microwave ovens were banned in the Soviet Union in 1976. More than 83% of American homes have microwave ovens and all of these microwave ovens should go into the garbage.

Electromagnetic radiation can be carcinogenic (particularly to children), and you are surrounded by electrical wiring in your home, car, and office.

of the 20th century and continuing today. While you are
grounded, electromagnetic radiation will have less affect on you. This is how the

"The risk of brain tumors in humans is multiplied 2.5 times when cell phones are used." - Dr. Lenart Hardell, Cancer Specialist

Government is leaving all the research to the cell phone industry.

"Scientists who work on the problem of biological effects of cell phones and relay stations have been made the object...of...firings, professional change, change of research topic, blockage of career, loss of collaborators, ban on speaking..." - Dr. Robert Santini

If you want to get a good night of sleep, do not use a cell phone before going to bed.

Using a cell phone for more than
10 years
increases risk of brain cancer.

The Radiation Poisoning of America
1. "Russia's
public exposure standards are 100 times more stringent than ours because
Russian scientists have consistently shown that, at U.S. exposure
levels, humans develop pathological changes in heart, kidney, liver and
brain tissues, plus cancers of all types."

Compared to men, women are
50% more
susceptible to cancer from radiation exposure.

Cell phones use microwaves. Here is a school science
experiment you can do at home. Two cell phones were propped up facing each
other, with a raw egg between them. One phone called the other and both
phones were placed in talk mode. A tape recorder was played in the
background so the two phones talked to each other. In 25 minutes the egg
shell became hot. In 40 minutes the egg white was cooked. In 65 minutes the
egg yolk was hard. (Now repeat the experiment with the two phones on each
side of your head. Just joking!). However, you can search the internet for
"cell phone thermography" to see visual images of people cooking their
brain.

"The DNA in living cells recognizes electromagnetic
fields at very low levels of exposure; and produces a biochemical stress
response." - Dr. Martin Blank, Ph.D.

"There are 60,000, at least, peer reviewed articles talking about the

AVOID "SMART" DEVICES. Instead of a large "smart TV" why not use a large

To minimize exposure to electromagnetic fields and avoid sleep
disruptions, cut the power to your bedroom at night.

The air you breathe indoors is polluted by off-gassing from glues, solvents and chemicals used in construction materials, furniture, carpets, and all your collection of cleaners and poisons under the sink.
Many products such as mattresses, couches and carpets are coated with
fire-retarding chemicals that are carcinogenic. Millions of homes have been treated for termites with carcinogenic pesticides chlordane and heptachlor, resulting in "persistent air contamination" at concentrations higher than levels determined by the EPA to pose "imminent cancer hazard".

The mercury amalgam fillings in your teeth release mercury vapor every time you chew, and mercury toxicity is associated with health problems in the cardiovascular system (heart disease), central nervous system, digestive system, endocrine system, immune system, and even cancer. One woman in six has enough mercury in her blood to harm her developing child via the umbilical cord. By age two, American children have received 237 micrograms of mercury through vaccines alone, which far exceeds current EPA "safe" levels. Root canals are particularly accused as being locations for "focal infections" releasing a steady steam of bacteria and toxins into your body. Gerson
Therapy includes extraction of all teeth with root canals. A diet of whole foods is your best protection against tooth decay. Women who eat fish twice or more a week have seven times as much mercury in their blood as women who have not eaten fish for a month. Fish with the most mercury are larger species such as shark, swordfish and tuna. Sardines are much less toxic, and are filled with useful nutrients. If you want to eat fish, two tins of sardines each week would be healthful.

In the early 1900s an Indiana
physician, Dr. W.B. Clarke, stated "Cancer was practically unknown until
compulsory vaccination with cowpox vaccine began to be introduced. I have
had to deal with two hundred cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of
cancer in an un-vaccinated person." -
Murder by Injection page 132. Learn how to
legally avoid unwanted vaccinations of all kinds.

Vaccines are accused of being responsible for the current epidemic of autism affecting one out of every
250 people (mostly children), up from about one in 10,000 in 1992. (Read
about a group of 30,000+ children under the care of Homefirst
Health Services of Chicago who have never been vaccinated and who have no
autism

3.) Vaccines are also associated with rising rates of childhood asthma
and diabetes. The health of children is declining rapidly. The incidence of
life-threatening food allergies has doubled in the last 10 years (Allergy
05;60(4):443-451, J Allergy Clin Immunol 05;116(2):377-383). The
incidence of asthma is up 75% in the last 10 years (Chest
04;125(5):1685-1692). Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 20 years (JAMA
02;288(14):1728-1733). Along with obesity comes related problems
formerly seen only in adults: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver
and kidney disease, and sleep apnea. Diabetes has doubled in children in the
last 25 years. Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes is now appearing in children as
young as 6 years of age. Ten percent of these diabetic children will
experience kidney failure (Diabetes 02;51:A24). More than 4 million
children have been diagnosed with ADHD since the condition was first
recognized in 1980. Stimulant drug prescriptions have increased five-fold in
the last seven years (MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 05;54(34):842-847,

The air you breathe outdoors is so polluted by car exhaust that in many cities smog warnings are frequently issued recommending that people stay indoors. Plus, many industries emit carcinogenic air pollution so that just living near them increases your risk of cancer. Mapping of where cancer patients live and work clearly shows these high cancer areas around certain industries such as the petrochemical industry. Microscopic asbestos fibers floating in the air are a known carcinogen responsible for 10% - 15% of all cancer deaths. An increasing percentage of lung cancer is of a type not caused by smoking. In fact, it has been suggested that industry is using cancers caused by smoking (ignoring increasing rates of lung cancer in non-smokers) and dietary fat (ignoring the carcinogenic chemicals and pesticides in the fat) to divert attention from themselves and the occupational exposures and pollution they create. Read
the names of the top 100 corporate air polluters - the "toxic
100".

The pattern of industry-sponsored fraudulent scientific research, supported by bribed government officials and corporate-controlled mass media is so common that it can be considered "business as usual" in the United States. Dr. Epstein presents the following cancer causing "Case Studies" in great detail:1) asbestos2) vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride3) bischloromethylether4) benzene5) tobacco6) red dyes #2 and #407) saccharin8) acrylonitrile9) female sex hormones10) pesticides aldrin and dieldrin11) pesticides chlordane and heptachlor12) nitrosamines

There are many questions about cosmetics and perfumes. The industry is largely unregulated and in 1989, the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health found 884 poisonous substances (many synthetically derived from petrochemicals) in a list of 2,983 chemicals used in the fragrance industry. These are substances capable of causing cancer, birth defects, central nervous system disorders, allergic respiratory reactions, skin and eye irritations. 8,000 tons of synthetic musk fragrances are produced annually in the US. The synthetic musk compounds can be absorbed through the skin and tend to build up in fat tissue. Synthetic musk is banned in England because it causes cancer. Applying talcum (a kind of powdered asbestos) to the body can increase a woman's chances of developing ovarian cancer according to the
American Journal of Epidemiology (145: 5 (MAR 1 1997): 459-465). Have a look at the ingredients list for baby powder!
Safe replacements for talcum powder include baking soda and corn starch.

The "prepared foods" that have become so popular probably all contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats that are associated with cancer, not to mention sundry preservatives and other chemicals, combined with vastly reduced nutritional value. Leukemia is the leading cause of fatal cancers in children, and strangely enough this may be partly due to the use of
soy protein in infant formulas. Also, ultrasound has an unhealthy effect on rapidly multiplying fetal cells and is not recommended. Leukemia is also caused by many chemicals and radiation.

In 1890, the average American consumed
about 5 pounds of sugar a year. Today the average American consumes 2 to 3
pounds of sugar a week. This is highly refined sugar in the form of sucrose
(table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar) and high fructose corn syrup. This
sugar consumption is in addition to the naturally occurring sugars in food.
Sugar depresses the immune system and contributes to many diseases including
cancer.
The high consumption of sugar is associated with reduced consumption of
fruits and vegetables, and deficiencies in many important nutrients. Eating
all this sugar is a form of slow suicide.
Carcinogenic chemical in soft drinks.

The water you drink and bathe in probably has chlorine added to it.
Chlorine combines with organic material in the water to form carcinogenic
chemicals called
trihalomethanes. When chlorinated water comes into
contact with your digestive system, skin or lungs you can expect the
chlorine to react with your body tissues.
Olympic athletes refuse to swim in
heavily chlorinated pools.
Plus,
animal studies clearly demonstrate that drinking chlorinated water can cause heart disease.
In fact, Dr. Joseph M. Price writes on page 57 of his book
Coronaries Cholesterol Chlorine that "atherosclerosis cannot occur to a
clinically significant degree in the absence of chlorine regardless of diet
and other contributing factors." Heart disease is virtually unknown in areas
of the world without chlorinated drinking water, and was unknown in the west
prior to the introduction of chlorinated drinking water in 1904. The first
clinical description of coronary thrombosis (heart attack) was made in 1912.
The number of deaths by heart attack was not significant enough to be
included in national statistics until 1930. Safer alternatives to create clean drinking water would be ultraviolet light
(UV) and either ozone or hydrogen peroxide (ozone becomes hydrogen peroxide when it is dissolved in water).
Many cities around the world use ozone and UV light to reduce the amount of
chlorine needed.

Your drinking water may also have
fluoride added to it. Fluoride interferes with your body's enzyme systems. Enzymes
are necessary for all transformations in the body, and are key to your
body's defense against cancer. "Fluoride causes more human cancer, and causes it faster, than any other chemical." - Dean Burk, Chief Chemist Emeritus, U.S. National Cancer Institute.
Fluoride is in the chemicals (PFAS) that make non-stick cookware,
water-repellant clothing, stain-resistant carpets, flame retardant
chemicals, etc.
Hundreds of scientists have issued a warning of the danger. This might be a good time to toss
your Teflon cookware, and replace it with non-stick ceramic coated
cookware.

You can't walk barefoot on the grass in a public park for fear that some pesticide or other chemical has been sprayed on it. Ten of the 34 pesticides commonly used in professional lawn care are carcinogenic.

Alternative Insecticides

Most popular insecticides kill insects by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme in the insect nervous system. Unfortunately, humans rely on the same neurotransmitter and will experience the same breakdown of the nervous system. These chemicals were developed during WWII by Nazi scientists.

1. An alternative insecticide blocks the insect neurotransmitter octopamine. Mammals, birds and fish do not have octopamine in their nervous systems. This alternative insecticide is derived from plant and tree essential oils, including clove oil. It is manufactured by
Ecosmart Technologies.
See their website for a list of stores where these products are sold.

CedarCide
is an insecticide made from cedar oil. It blocks pores in the insect shell
through which they breathe. Effective for bedbugs, head lice,
mosquitoes, and more.

Diatomaceous earth is a form of talcum powder that is
relatively harmless
to people and animals, but the microscopically tiny sharp edges damage

intestinal parasites. Available from Amazon

In the 1940's the annual production of synthetic organic chemicals was about one billion pounds. In the 1950's this rose to 30 billion pounds and by the 1980's had reached 400 billion pounds annually. Most of these chemicals have never been tested for their carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. Occupational exposure to industrial carcinogens is a major risk factor for cancer. Even today, most toxic waste created by industry is not disposed of safely.

Americans consume 80% of the world's
supply of pain killers. This amounts to 110 tons of opiates annually. More
than 25% of American children and teens take prescription drugs. Poisoning,
mostly from prescription drugs and personal products such as cosmetics, has
now passed car accidents as the leading cause of accidental death in the
United States.

Organic Golf
Course

The world's first golf course,
St. Andrews Golf Course in Scotland, uses no chemicals.
Martha's Vineyard Golf Club, where former President Obama golfs, is
organic and uses no chemicals.

There
are more than 30,000 golf courses around the world. The typical
golf course uses chemicals four times more intensely
than the average farm. These chemicals are associated with brain
tumors, prostate cancer and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. These three
cancers tend to be more prevalent in farmers, golf course
superintendents, frequent golfers, and people who live near golf courses.

Chemicals will be applied to the grass in the early morning, and
golfers will be playing on the grass soon after. The golfers are
thinking of the fresh air, sunshine, exercise and natural
surroundings, while the reality is that toxic chemicals pervade
their environment.

An organic golf course will have a higher tolerance for weeds,
and will attack weeds with organic methods. White vinegar, for
example, kills weeds. Dish soap kills moss. The remaining weeds
are simply an extra "hazard" that makes the game a little more
challenging.

"Much cancer today reflects events and exposures in the 1950's and 60's. Production, uses and disposal of synthetic organic and other industrial carcinogens, were then miniscule compared to current levels, which will determine future cancer rates for younger populations now exposed. There is every reason to anticipate that even high current cancer rates will be exceeded in coming decades." - Dr. Samuel Epstein page 330.

Contaminants have been found in vaccinations that may cause cancer, such as the monkey virus SV40 that contaminated all polio vaccinations given between 1955 and 1961 (the polio vaccine is grown on monkey tissue). In fact, despite industry assurances to the contrary, there is evidence that SV40 continued to contaminate polio vaccinations given to infants in the USA up to the year 2000 when the vaccination was discontinued. Many prescription drugs create free radicals that are a cause of cancer. The medical use of radiation in the form of diagnostic X-rays is the main cause of increasing levels of leukemia. Even the so-called treatments for cancer - chemotherapy and radiation - are carcinogenic. (After chemotherapy or radiation your chances of a second cancer are 100 times higher - Dr. Samuel Epstein page 328).

The average person gets much less exercise than in 1904 and paradoxically, due to the electric light we get a lot less rest. Get to bed no later than 10 PM every night if you can. Best is to ignore the clock and go to bed with the sun, then rise early to meditate. Go for an early morning walk barefoot on grass while it is still damp with dew.

Earthing

"Earthing"
is the name popularly given to electrically grounding the human body
to the Earth. Modern people are electrically insulated from the Earth
most of the time due to rubber sole shoes, rubber tire vehicles,
vinyl and carpet floors, wood structures, and so on. However, the
human race evolved in direct electrical contact with the Earth while
walking barefoot, sleeping on the ground, etc. It turns out that
insulating ourselves from the earth has health consequences, and
that many health benefits are to be gained by reconnecting to the
Earth.

In our modern world, this electrical reconnection
to the Earth is being created by means of conductive bed sheets and
floor mats that plug into the grounding hole in electrical outlets.
Conductive footwear is also being developed.

When the human body is
electrically grounded to the Earth, random static charges and
foreign electromagnetic fields immediately bleed off into the Earth.
Plus, the Earth's surface has a negative electrical charge which
becomes a constant source of free electrons for our body. These free
electrons
neutralize the positively charged free radicals that are largely
responsible for the present epidemic of inflammation and
inflammatory diseases. Also, the negative
electrical charge that the body attains when electrically grounded
to the Earth is exactly what is needed to raise
zeta potential to
its optimal level. In a study by cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra
and electrophysiologist Dr. Gaetan Chevalier, 40 minutes of Earthing
raised zeta potential of the blood by 270%, restoring the zeta
potential to its natural level (see
Earthing pages
176-177).

Phthalates cause males to become more
female. Phthalates are linked to allergies, asthma, autism, inflammation,
kidney and prostate disease, obesity, diseases of the reproductive organs.
Experimental exposure of one generation of rats to phthalates produced
disease in their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. This is
the first time transgenerational inheritance of disease has been
demonstrated experimentally due to exposure to an environmental toxin. All
Americans tested have high levels of phthalates.

More than 40% of the population can expect to be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
Worldwide, cancer is the number one cause of death. The world has indeed changed since 1904 when both cancer and heart disease were rare. It may not be possible to roll back the clock, but we can learn as individuals and as a society to protect ourselves from much that is harming us.

So what are you going to do? Build yourself a home of non-toxic materials in an area where the air is clean, and drink rain water from your roof while growing your own food? Sounds good! But in the meantime you do not want to die of cancer. Here is a summary of what you can do now.

In 1904 there was very little cancer. Now there is an abundance of cancer. What has changed? Can this be reversed? If you have cancer or do not want to get cancer the information you and your family need is on this web site.
